Dear Keith R. Bradley,
Hello my name is Rachel and I am a 7th grader at Nagle Middle School, in social studies we are doing a project on how we could save Rome if we could go back in time. I am working on how the protests could have been better stopped and I was wondering if you could answer a few questions.
Question 1: How did protests normally start and who normally started them?
Question 2: How did the Romans normally stop the protests and when they did occur how did the Romans try to stop them.
Question 3: On average how many protests were there in a year and on average how many people died from them?
Question 4: How effective were the protest, did they do anything at all or were they just a broken dream.
If you could please answer these questions and get back to me at your most convenient time.
